Really impressed with this Spätburgunder from Wasenhaus (two young German winemakers, Christoph Wolber & Alex Götze, based in Baden).

It's got it all: lightness of touch, juicy dark fruits, lowish alcohol (12%), firm structure, that lovely aromatic character.

Best of all, after 2 days open in the fridge, the last glass was great.

Fun fact, Christoph has a brother Bastien who makes wine in Volnay.

All three cut their teeth working for seminal French estates.

Today's bottle is quite unusual, not just because it's ceramic. It's a 100% Gewurtzraminer orange wine from Bulgaria: 2021 Rossidi Nikolaevo.

On the nose it's quite aromatic, with orange peel and spiced marmalade. On the palate it gives orage peel again, stone fruit, surprising minerality reminiscent of sea water, tea-like tannins and a long, pleasant, if a bit sweet aftertaste. Very nice!

Back to Loire, looking for "green" Cabernet Franc wines and perfecting bottle photography :)

Domaine de la Chevalerie Franco d'Porc 2019 in my favorite glass. This one is quite close to what I'm looking for! Nice acidity, blueberry, pronounced green pepper/tomato leaf, tobacco with some black pepper - love it!

These start to feel like shouting into a void, but here's a spectacular Gewurztraminer, Pinot gris and Pinot Noir (among others) orange wine from Alsace (it's more amber and less pink irl): Les Vins Pirouettes Qvevri de Stéphane 2020. Hand-picked and aged in Georgian amphoras under ground.

Amazingly warm, cozy and delicious flavors - definitely a recent favorite!

I am so happy to arrive here!

#France was and is a leader in harnessing outside land, energy and labour. (Second to English cultures.) So i have a few hints on #islamophobia #counterTerrorism #israelism #StandWithIsrael @military.
